In a recent segment on the Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan delved deep into a recent revelation about the JFK assassination. The episode shed light on a claim that’s been circulating in the New York Times about a man who claims to be the last witness of the assassination. This man alleges that he discovered the fabled “magic bullet” in the car and subsequently placed it on the gurney next to Kennedy’s body. What’s more, the man also claims he’s one of the Secret Service agents, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.
The “Magic Bullet” and More
While Joe and his guests pondered the legitimacy of these claims and the intentions of the so-called witness, especially given that he’s promoting a book on the matter, they ventured further into the convoluted world of conspiracies surrounding JFK’s assassination.
A particular focal point was the video which apparently shows Secret Service agents being pulled off their detail just as the car was about to enter the plaza where Kennedy was shot. This has fueled many conspiracy theories, suggesting that there was some sort of inside job or at least prior knowledge of the assassination.
There was also speculation around whether President Kennedy himself had expressed the desire to ride in a convertible without a shield. However, these claims were met with skepticism, with neither Joe nor his guests being able to confirm them.
The Mob, Chicago, and JFK’s Election
The discussion took another turn towards the murky waters of political intrigue when Joe and his guests brought up the claims that the mob, especially in Chicago, had a hand in ensuring Kennedy’s election victory. These claims suggest that JFK’s father, Joe Kennedy, had mafia connections that were used to manipulate the vote.
Conspiracy Galore
The conversation didn’t end there. From Operation Northwoods, an alleged plan by the U.S. Department of Defense to stage false-flag terrorist attacks as a pretext to justify a war against Cuba, to the Enron scandal, Gulf of Tonkin, and Iran-Contra affair; Joe and his guests seemed to be on a roll. The main argument was the idea that while not all conspiracy theories are true, there are certain conspiracies that have been proven real, indicating that skepticism towards the government isn’t always unfounded.
Brian, one of Joe’s guests, seemed to be on the defensive, trying to argue that not all governmental actions labeled as “conspiracies” are nefarious in nature. In contrast, Sam, another guest, was more assertive in his belief of these conspiracies.
Conclusion
What the Joe Rogan Experience episode underscores is the ever-present allure of conspiracy theories, especially when it comes to high-profile incidents like the JFK assassination. While it’s essential to approach such topics with an open mind and critical thinking, it’s also crucial to base conclusions on verified information.
However, one thing’s for sure: As long as there are unanswered questions and secrets surrounding such events, the allure of conspiracy theories will persist, and discussions like the one on the Joe Rogan Experience will continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
